The guide was nice and tried to explain but the tour it self was quiet expensive for sth that more than 75% was in public areas and free to be visited. The archeological site didn't have almost any information on it. Not the best experience
If you love history, this is the tour for you!

Nayden, our guide is knowledgeable and making the tour quite fun eventhough we visited the catacombs. We finished the tour by understanding more about the ancient and modern history of Sofia and Bulgaria.
